If you’re a fan of the solo works of the respective frontmen of The Police and Genesis, today is going to be a good day for you. Yes, Sting and Peter Gabriel announced that they will be playing several North American tour dates this summer, in what is being called the Rock Paper Scissors tour. The two English musicians say they plan to perform several duets on the tour, and the set lists will likely include each of the pair’s most popular songs.
They released a five-minute video announcing the tour, in which they give their admiration for each other’s work, and their general excitement about the chance to tour together. They also play a nice bit of Gabriel’s classic hit “Shock the Monkey.”
